China has a long history of using incense(熏香). Ancient Chinese people loved incense and knew how to make it. Different kinds of Chinese herbal(草药的) medicines were chosen by ancient Chinese to make incense, because incense could clean the air and keep people's minds clear. Different smells of incense can work differently.
As early as the Pre-Qin period, most of people liked to burn incense to wish for a better life. Later, it was found that incense could be used to keep away from animals. Gradually, the ancient people began to use incense to freshen air.
In ancient times, incense would also be used to tell time. For example, people would light a stick of incense to calculate(计算) the time of an exam. When it burned out, the exam was over. This is what Chinese people call"the duration(持续时间) of a stick of incense." What's more, incense in the shape of balls would be put in a special bag. When it was heated, the clothes covering the special bag smelled good. Incense can also be used to improve people's health. When you feel stressed or nervous, the pleasant smell can make you relaxed. And lots of Chinese believe that beautiful things that smell good can help people to have a good rest.
Chinese are born to prefer incense. Learning the ancient ways of making incense is a good way not only to show our respect for Chinese classical culture but also to pass it on.
